REASON FOR CAPTIVITY: Soon to be released if not too habituated. Nip and her group of friends will remain in AfriCat’s care until space opens in the Okonjima Nature Reserve for their rehabilitation to start.

Nip is one of our cheetahs at AfriCat’s Rehabilitation Centre.

Nip and her sister Savanna and her two brothers, Tuc and Scamp were found on the perimeter fenceline of the Okonjima Nature Reserve (2010). They were observed for a few days until it was obvious there was no mother around and attempts were made to catch them. They were around three months old when they came to AfriCat.
